Hot day at Gillette for the seventh practice of camp

The sun is out, the air is thick and the temperature is approaching 90 degrees here at Gillette Stadium. There's no doubt this is shaping up to be the hottest day to this point in training camp.

Add last night's late practice to the mix, and it's important for the players to show some mental toughness to get through this session. Plus, it was a testy practice with a few scraps after the whistle, so let's see how their tempers will be affected by today's elements.

Bill Belichick will meet with the media at 1 p.m., and practice starts at 1:30. The players will speak around 4 p.m.

We'll have plenty on the blog, and Karen Guregian (@kguregian) and I (@jeffphowe) will also be active on Twitter, so follow along.
